Steer Cars Using Just Your Eyes in Open Drive, Out in Early Access on Android

Open Drive is a groundbreaking racing game for mobile, now available in early access on Android. This isn't just any game; it's a testament to inclusivity, developed by SpecialEffect, a charity dedicated to helping physically disabled gamers, in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios.

What’s the Game About?

Open Drive is designed with adaptability at its core, allowing you to play using various methods including touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a controller. The game's focus on inclusivity ensures that everyone can enjoy the experience, no matter their physical abilities.

One of the most revolutionary features of Open Drive is its mobile-specific eye control. With a compatible eye gaze camera, players can steer their vehicles simply by looking left or right. This feature is a significant step forward in accessibility, particularly for players with physical challenges who are often excluded from games that only support touch or gamepad inputs. The eye control works seamlessly across all four of the game's open worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow.

The gameplay in Open Drive is incredibly versatile. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely drive collecting orbs or chasing high scores with daring jumps, the game caters to your pace. Choose from vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster and adjust the speed to your liking. For a glimpse into the game, check out the early access announcement trailers below.

Open Drive Is Now Out in Early Access

Open Drive intelligently auto-detects and adjusts to your chosen control method. It fully supports Switch Access on Android, ensuring a smooth experience for all users. Each input method comes with its own setup, offering 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes for touch controls, and specific setups for Switch Access, mouse, keyboard, and Android-compatible gamepad/controllers.

Currently available in early access on Android, the eye control feature is not yet fully implemented. However, you can look forward to trying it out for free when the full version launches later this summer. If this sounds intriguing, you can explore Open Drive now on the Google Play Store.
